Several Scottish fans were reported to have wished the British & Irish team to lose against the All Blacks in the 2017 Lions Tour. The fans are angry at their minority representation in the tour. There were alleged calls for Greig Laidlaw to start the game while some cheered the All Blacks on.

A section of the Scottish rugby side has been keeping up this momentum for a while now. Warren Gatland is lucky that the situation did not go beyond the current realities. There was public outcry up north when the Kiwi named just two Scots in the team for the Lions tour. The Welsh side were expected to have more representation but the recent results made the Scottish fans demand more.
